Location wise you will not get any better than Gerd's place. The fact that he lives on the premises is an added bonus because if there are any problems, they can be rectified straight away. The apartment itself is starting to look a little tired and the furniture is quite basic. However it is good value for money. Saying that it is a large space and with a few simple touch ups could be an even better stay. The building is an older condo with only a 5 or 6 apartments per level, split over 2 buildings, so not much noise at all.
